About the Mission

George E. Norcross, III, The Norcross Foundation and John P. Sheridan, Jr., President and CEO of Cooper University Hospital announce a medical mission to Haiti comprised of Cooper University Hospital medical professionals.

Over the next several days, Cooper will be mobilizing a medical team and transporting them to Haiti to assist the Haitian people after the devastating earthquake that has brought death, severe injury and predicted widespread disease as a result of this catastrophe.

In addition to several pair of crutches, I have other orthopedic devises- elbow splint from a break, foot booths etc. Could you use these and were can I drop them off?

Hi, William. At this time we’re only accepting canes and crutches due to shipping constraints. You can find the drop-off locations for canes and crutches on this page: http://haiti.cooperhealth.org/2010/01/make-a-contribution-by-donating-crutches/ . Thank you very much.

Cooper!

We are interested in donating some mobile search software to any doctors or cooper reps. Accessed through a url from their iphones, palm devices, and blackberries. Figured the health representatives might need to search for medical information. Not sure if there is internet connections down there. Please e-mail me ASAP.

Thanks,
Ryan

Will there be another collection effort after Saturday (the 23rd)? I’m helping Montgomery Elementary School in North Wales, PA collect crutches and canes. There are questions on establishing other drop off locations (e.g.Lower Merion, etc.). Please advise if there are any other drop off points that can be established. Thanks.
